I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297: Chapter 499: The Daoist Ancestor Appears! Chen Mo: What Do You Mean, "Let Me Slay the Dragon"? (2)

"Could this Daoist Forbidden Land also be part of that Secret Realm?"

Buzz——

At that moment, the source seed in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly began to tremble, as if something was resonating with it from afar.

Chen Mo followed the fluctuations and walked deeper into the barren land. The demon bones became more and more numerous along the way, and their sizes increasingly larger—likely all exceedingly domineering Great Demons in life.

However, their deaths were incredibly tragic; parts of their bodies had been forcibly erased; some had no heads, some had hollowed chests, and some had only half their bodies left... Yet there were no traces of cutting by sharp blades, as if they were inherently this way.

"Strange..."

"What kind of method is this?"

Restricted by the suppression of his cultivation, Chen Mo could only traverse on foot.

After an unknown passage of time, climbing over corpses hill after hill, he was dumbstruck by the scene before him.

The corpses were piled tens of yards high all around, tightly pressed together to form a circular bone wall.

At the center of the wall was a flat, empty area where a Daoist dressed in a cyan robe sat cross-legged, his face calm and otherworldly, his skin fair with a rosy hue, and his jet black hair meticulously tied into a Daoist bun.

At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed, with five hearts facing heaven, meditating and entering a trance.

"Daoist Ancestor?!"

Chen Mo’s pupils contracted suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

This Daoist’s appearance was very familiar to him; identical to the statue he’d seen earlier—none other than the founding Grandmaster of the Tianshu Pavilion Daoist tradition!

Could it be the Daoist Ancestor is still alive?!

Then, who are those remains in the Qingzhou Secret Realm?!

Chen Mo swallowed hard with difficulty, and under the guide of the Dao Fruit, stepped forward apprehensively.

Upon closer examination, he discovered that this Daoist actually had no breath, long deceased; yet his corpse remained incorruptible and eternal, looking almost no different from the living.

"The laws in this Forbidden Land are chaotic, clearly related to this corpse..."

"So the records of the Tianshu Pavilion Sect are correct, the Daoist Ancestor did transcend here. Yet the Dao Fruit in my Sea of Consciousness is indeed real. Can one person really have two corpses?"

Just as Chen Mo was pondering to himself, the Dao Fruit in his Spirit Platform became exceptionally active, and divine lights burst forth from his brow, enveloping the Daoist.

Immediately, under Chen Mo’s shocked gaze, the Daoist’s eyelashes gently fluttered and he slowly opened his eyes.

His deep eyes seemed like bottomless black holes, swallowing even the light, capable of seeing through everything in the world; before these eyes, nothing held any secrets.

"It’s you."

The Daoist Ancestor looked at Chen Mo and said softly, "You’ve finally arrived."

Chen Mo’s hairs stood on end, he stepped back a few paces and said sternly, "You know me?"

"I don’t know you." The Daoist Ancestor shook his head, "But you bear the Dao Fruit and your body carries Pei Fengmian’s aura. So I knew you were the one I’ve been waiting for."

Startled by his words, Chen Mo’s brows furrowed even tighter, "Are you dead or alive? What is the relationship between Master Pei and you? Moreover, what do you mean when you say you’ve been waiting for me?"

Facing his questioning, the Daoist Ancestor wasn’t displeased and patiently replied, "I died and my Way was extinguished a millennium ago; what remains now is just a Dharma Body... I foresaw that someone would complete my unfinished tasks and so sealed my consciousness here, awaiting the destined person."

The other party seemed harmless, allowing Chen Mo to relax somewhat, puzzling, "What unfinished tasks?"

The Daoist Ancestor said indifferently, "Dragon-slaying."

?!

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, followed by a flash in his mind, exclaiming, "Are you saying Zhu Jiuyou is still alive?!"

The Daoist Ancestor neither confirmed nor denied, sighing, "This is a war that has been extended for millennia, started by me and will be ended by you. Everything has been predetermined... Your presence here confirms it all."

Chen Mo’s face darkened further.

The Daoist Ancestor, a strongest in the path of Cause and Effect, sees through past and future, yet unexpectedly included him in his calculations a thousand years later?

Back then, even those human Ancient Emperors joined forces, unable to eliminate Zhu Jiuyou. Now, could all hope lie with him, a Second Grade cultivator?

What a joke!

Seeing his thoughts, the Daoist Ancestor remarked, "Rest assured, I won’t force you to do anything; soon you’ll understand that everything you’re experiencing is something that must happen, with no other choice."

"I’m most disdainful of fatalism." Chen Mo, unwilling to be entangled further, inquired, "Where is Ji Hongxiu now?"
